Accountail reports are generated from the files and details supplied by the user. If a calculation, conclusion, or tie-out cannot be supported by the uploaded data, Accountail should flag the limitation instead of inventing missing amounts, vendors, account names, policies, or assumptions. Users should review each report before relying on it for client delivery, filing, audit, tax, compliance, or management decisions.
